(We had) a lot of leaders, who never accepted a player to be lazy, either in a game or on the training ground. We all pushed each other. "Look at that Top Eight final against Sundowns. The win was purely a team effort. They had the upper hand for most of the match, but we fought and we had that ambition. We had that will to win." And his goal? "Fani Madida whipped the ball into the box, and I tapped the ball into the goal with a half-volley. I was so excited that I went on a long run behind the goal. It was such a competitive game. They pressed us a lot. However, in the end, we got a chance and we finished it."
